1510 G-Series (164kW) Forwarder
In the ever-demanding world of forestry, productivity, reliability, and efficiency aren’t optional — they’re essential. That’s why John Deere’s G-Series Forwarders were designed with loggers, for loggers. Built from over 175 years of innovation and refined with real-world feedback from our Customer Advocate Group (CAG), these machines embody cutting-edge forestry technology combined with unmatched durability and operator comfort.
Built Tough to Keep You Going!
When your worksite is deep in remote terrain, you can’t afford downtime. That’s why G-Series Forwarders are engineered to take on harsh environments with robust components and reliable systems.
- Durable Booms with Optional Intelligent Boom Control (IBC): Active damping sensors help extend boom life by reducing wear and tear during movement.
- Heavy-Duty Duraxle™ Bogies: Designed to carry heavy loads across tough, uneven terrain with excellent tractive force and lower ground pressure.
- Simplified Electrical Systems: Fewer relays and connectors mean greater reliability and easier diagnostics.
- Reliable Braking System: Hydraulically actuated, oil-immersed multi-disc brakes deliver consistent and safe stopping power in all conditions.
Precision Meets Power with Intelligent Boom Control (IBC)
Available as an option, John Deere’s Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) takes the complexity out of operating a forwarder. This advanced system improves precision, productivity, and ease of use — especially for newer operators.
- Boost Efficiency by up to 15%: IBC simplifies boom movements, allowing operators to focus on grapple control while the system handles lift, slew, and extension.
- Consistent Grapple Speed: Regardless of reach, mini-lever movements result in consistent grapple response.
- Customizable Controls: Operators can choose their preferred joystick pattern — ISO, default, or knuckleboom — and save their settings for faster shift starts.
Optimized for Every Forestry Challenge
Whether you’re thinning, clear-felling, or working in soft or rocky terrain, there’s a G-Series Forwarder tailored to the task:
- 1510G Long-Bogie Versions: Offer improved ground pressure and stability in challenging conditions.
- 1510G with Greater Slew Angle: Enhances maneuverability and responsiveness.
Adapt to Conditions with Adaptive Driveline Control
Choose between Eco, Normal, or Power driving modes based on job demands. Adaptive Driveline Control adjusts engine load to maintain steady RPMs, improving fuel efficiency and reducing engine wear.
Smarter Forestry with John Deere ForestSight™ (Optional)
